It seems as though a solution has already been found. But here is another idea. Try download a version of knoppix linux that has full nfts read/write support Kanotix. Just download the ISO, burn, and pop it in your CD drive (Its a live CD, there is no installation, it runs fully from the CD). You just boot up and it gives you a full linux graphical distrobution that has the ability to read and write to your ntfs drive. You can then delete the windows directory and leave the stuff you actually want. Give it a try, I us Knoppix all the time while building systems, its much easier to do a full burn in test of all the components before putting windows on.
